Frequency bands above 6 GHz, and especially above 30 GHz, are becoming promising candidate for 5G mobile communications because there are up to tens of GHz of spectrum available. Although higher frequencies have been widely applied to point-to-point communications, their application to mobile communication is still at a very early stage. Application of higher frequency to mobile communications has many challenges including high path loss and body loss, higher penetration and foliage loss, mobility issues, multiple user access, coverage, adaptive access and backhaul and deployment issues in dense network, etc.  Promising techniques include novel beamforming techniques using massive antenna arrays, low form factor chip-scale antennas for base stations and user devices, adaptive backhauling and various system and deployment issues. Despite some progress in the above-mentioned techniques, a complete system design remains elusive.
This workshop will provide a forum for both industry and academia to exchange views and visions.
